Here are the awards handed out for Task Four:

The Great Lengths of Survival - JesterheadJohnSnow, jesusfreak202, Shermanblook

Because you all three showed your characters going to great lengths, terrible lengths in most cases, to survive, you do not have to kill off any characters this task - whether that's your own or someone else's. This includes ballot punishments.

Savages - JesterheadJohnSnow, jesusfreak202, MusicgirlXD

Because you both showed a fight between Native Americans and your characters, you can "fight me" on your score for Task Five and have me ignore one aspect of the grading rubric - whichever takes the most points, other than handing in late.

Sickness - JesterheadJohnSnow, Several7s, ZSB2000, jesusfreak202, Sara_R_Stark, Shermanblook

Because most of your characters were very sick this round, they need some medicine to heal. This means that you're going to need extra word count this round, so you all have an extra 5,000 words to use in Task Five.

Early-hand ins:

First - RondaRayl

Second - JesterheadJohnSnow

Third - ariel_paiement1

Because you all handed in early, you are safe from any eliminations for the next several tasks - if there are any. You have an extra pointed added onto your overall score, a hint about the next two tasks.

IF YOU WON AN AWARD THIS ROUND (OR HANDED IN EARLY) THEN YOU MAY CREATE ANOTHER CHARACTER IN TASK FIVE IF YOU NEED TO. YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHY YOU MAY NEED TO DURING TASK FIVE!

Alessandro and Li Hua - jesusfreak202

ZSB2000, because you didn't kill off a character, in Task Five, you must have at least 5 direct historical details (people, places, names, events) in 5 different paragraphs of your entry. Failure to do this will result in 1 point being taken off your score. (Muaahahaha xD).

Let me know if I forgot anyone or anything!
